These Terms and Conditions govern your use of https://seobradentonfl.com/ and any services provided under the SEO Bradenton FL brand.
By accessing this website, submitting an enquiry, purchasing a service, accepting a proposal, or entering into an agreement with us, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.
The original document was written for SEO Plymouth and included UK-specific references. The version below adapts its structure for SEO Bradenton FL while keeping proposals and signed client agreements as the main documents governing paid work.
1. Website Use
You may use this website only for lawful purposes.
You agree not to:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or its systems
- Introduce malware, viruses, or other harmful material
- Interfere with the security or operation of the website
- Copy, scrape, reproduce, or republish website content without permission

The exact scope, price, timeline, deliverables, exclusions, and responsibilities for each engagement will be stated in a separate:
- Proposal
- Quotation
- Invoice
- Statement of work
- Service agreement
- Other written confirmation
Where a signed client agreement conflicts with these general website terms, the more specific signed agreement will normally govern that engagement.
3. Proposals and Service Agreements
A proposal or quotation does not create a binding service agreement until it has been accepted and any required initial payment has been received.
The agreed scope may state:
- Included deliverables
- Excluded work
- Start date
- Estimated timeline
- Monthly fee or project price
- Payment schedule
- Client responsibilities
- Cancellation terms
- Reporting arrangements
- Third-party expenses
Work outside the agreed scope may require a revised quotation, additional payment, or separate written approval.
Electronic records, electronic contracts, and electronic signatures may have legal effect under Florida law.
4. Client Responsibilities
Clients must provide the information, access, materials, feedback, and approvals reasonably required to complete the agreed work.
This may include:
- Website and hosting access
- Google Analytics access
- Google Search Console access
- Google Business Profile access
- Accurate business information
- Brand assets
- Content approvals
- Timely feedback
- Access to relevant third-party platforms

Delays caused by missing information, access, approvals, or cooperation may affect delivery dates and campaign performance.
Clients confirm that they have the right to provide any content, data, images, trademarks, credentials, or other materials supplied to us.
5. No Ranking or Performance Guarantees
SEO Bradenton FL does not guarantee:
- A specific Google ranking
- First-page positions
- Google Maps or local-pack placement
- A fixed increase in website traffic
- A particular number of calls, leads, enquiries, bookings, or sales
- Permanent ranking improvements
- Approval or continued availability of third-party accounts
- A specific return on investment
SEO performance depends on factors outside our control, including:
- Search-engine algorithm changes
- Competition
- Market demand
- Website history and authority
- Client implementation
- Technical limitations
- Third-party platforms
- Reviews and reputation
- Changes made by the client or another provider
Any projections, estimates, examples, timelines, or performance expectations are illustrative only and are not guaranteed outcomes.
6. Search Engines and Third-Party Services
Search engines, analytics platforms, hosting providers, plugins, advertising platforms, software providers, and other third parties may change their systems, policies, interfaces, pricing, or availability without notice.
We are not responsible for:

The client is responsible for reviewing invoices and raising any genuine billing concern promptly.
8. Refunds
Refund eligibility depends on the service purchased and the terms agreed before payment.
Because SEO work may involve research, planning, strategy, implementation, reserved working time, and third-party costs, fees for work already completed are generally non-refundable.
Refunds will not normally be provided for:

- Research or strategy already delivered
- Time already allocated
- Third-party expenses
- Delays caused by the client
- Ranking fluctuations
- Outcomes that were never guaranteed
- Changes in the client’s business priorities

Any refund rights stated in a signed client agreement will take precedence.
Nothing in these Terms removes any rights that cannot legally be waived.
9. Recurring Services and Cancellation
Monthly SEO services continue until canceled in accordance with the applicable agreement.
Unless different terms are stated in writing:
- Cancellation must be submitted in writing
- Payments already made for the current billing period are not automatically refundable
- Work may continue until the end of the paid billing period
- Outstanding invoices remain payable
